A rare work from Mussolini's Italy; critic Mira Liehm writes, "The
center of Blasetti's work lay in the mythological films and films with
an openly pro-fascist tendency. In the years 1938-1941 he shot a
generally overvalued costume tetralogy, which represents a transition
between his fascist films and his work after 1942. The most important
of this tetralogyis The Iron Crown, a pseudo-historical fantasy based
on a naive plotwhich tried to create a kind of Italian saga in the
style of Die NiebelungenliedBlasetti, the true eclectic, mixed in
everything he could think of, including Ariosto and the Grimm
Brothers, while his directing drew heavily on early Fritz Lang."
